BP wanted to drill in 50 foot deep water and the government said absolutely not.

So then BP said ok we’ll drill down 500 feet and still the government said no.

So, BP was essentially forced to drill 35,000 foot down offshore.

And everybody is shocked something went wrong?

I never used to buy BP gas before April 20. Now it’s the ONLY gas station I go to.

Library user, you need to find another library to get your information from... where did you get 35,000 ft from?

You need to be more careful with your data, unless you are a LIBERAL/DEMORAT, then you do not have to worry about FACT, as long as you feel good about what you are posting.

Well thats partially true. The problem is the majors do want to drill deepwater. Shelf drilling is easier, but deepwater has much larger resevoirs. Most of the majors and mid-majors partner up to tackle these deepwater wells because if they produce, they become gamechangers.

So, the shelf might be attacked by enviros, but the oil companies do want to drill in deepwater, also.
